Oh man that's bada$$! Always wanted to see one of these done, especially with the period correct striping! Perfect too since I've always thought the stock steps and tanks from the King have a Freightliner Classic look to 'em.

Nice job!

That is one awesome freight shaker...kinda looks a bit like Jack Burton's pork chop express from big trouble in little China. Nice job on an original build.

I really like this model, I have a model of one with a similar paint-scheme. It's a LA-Z-BOY furniture hauler! You could make a trailer and some chairs for cargo.
Great build, like all your others. Your fabrication work in unbelievable!
